Hi, I'm Porsche Ing, and today we're gonna talk about glide exercises to strengthen your body. Now the thing about glide exercises is not only are they fun, but they strengthen the lower half of your body all the muscles. My favorite glide exercises are the side lunge, the reverse lunge, and also pike. So if you don't have expensive equipment or a slide, you can use a plate, and they work just as well. So for the side lunge, all you have to do is keep your knee bent and take your leg out to the side. Make sure your grounded leg, your knee is bent, and it doesn't go past the toe. This is the same for your reverse lunge. You take your leg all the way out to the back, and keep your grounded and standing leg under you, knee bent and not past the ankle, and definitely not past the toes. And the last exercise is our pike. You can drop two plates behind of you, put your feet on both plates, stay on the ball of the foot and push all the way to plank.
